PITTSBURGH - Playing with a heavy heart, Justin Braun delivered a heavy shot that, at least, gave his team hope Wednesday night in Game 2.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough in the end.
The San Jose Sharks’ defenceman, who lost his father-in-law/former NHL player Tom Lysiak to leukemia Monday, only wished his goal in the third period to send it to OT has been a winner, as the Pittsburgh Penguins moved out to a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final with a 2-1 OT victory.
For awhile there, Braun was able to put his emotions aside to focus on the final.
